Walls

A solo mime performance illustrating how doubt and insecurity can confine us, limiting our experiences and opportunities. The mime begins in an open space but gradually builds an invisible box, symbolizing self-imposed walls of fear. As the walls shrink, the mime becomes trapped, representing how uncertainty can paralyze us. However, upon remembering that they are made in God's image, the mime discovers a "key" in their pocket—faith. Using this key, they unlock a door and step into freedom, demonstrating that embracing God’s purpose and our uniqueness can break through limitations.

Cast: 1 mime.

Sample Script

NARRATION:

God has given each of us a life full of promise and opportunity. (Mime establishes a box.) But, doubt and insecurity can shrink our perceptions and thus shrink what we experience our lives to be. (Walls of the box begin to shrink.) This creates fear and doubt (Walls shrink more) until we become more and more unsure of what to do and finally find ourselves unable to move. (Mime walls have become so small that the mime is stuck in a confined box.) . . .
